Coming Home - John Schumann[00:00:00]
Written by:John Schumann[00:00:00]
Southeast Asian telephone lines aren't what they might be[00:00:12]
I can barely hear your voice[00:00:18]
I hope you can hear me[00:00:20]
It's been a lifetime here in Jakarta[00:00:24]
But it's only been a week[00:00:27]
There are Generals in their limousines[00:00:30]
And children on the street[00:00:33]
There are ships in the harbour and the planes roll in[00:00:38]
Ice in the beer and American gin[00:00:41]
I've picked up my ticket and I'm coming home[00:00:44]
There are ships in the harbour and the planes roll in[00:00:49]
Ice in the beer and American gin[00:00:52]
I've picked up my ticket[00:00:55]
And I'm coming home[00:00:57]
I'm coming home[00:01:01]
It's and hard rain here in Jakarta[00:01:11]
And it kills the afternoon[00:01:14]
So it's tea on the verandah[00:01:18]
Telling lies and swapping tunes[00:01:21]
Is history a measure of wasted time[00:01:26]
Is it only a matter of chance[00:01:28]
Watch the shadows not the puppets[00:01:33]
Watch the dancers not the dance[00:01:36]
Something here that I can't quite touch[00:01:40]
Perhaps it's the heat and I'm thinking too much[00:01:43]
Here I am coming home[00:01:46]
There are ships in the harbour and the planes roll in[00:01:52]
Ice in the beer and American gin[00:01:55]
I've picked up my ticket and I'm coming home[00:01:58]
I'm coming home[00:02:04]
And the dark guns and glasses of the military[00:02:20]
The drains are open and the rats run free[00:02:23]
My passport tells me I'm coming home[00:02:26]
There are ships in the harbour and the planes roll in[00:02:31]
Ice in the beer and American gin[00:02:34]
I've picked up my ticket and I'm coming home[00:02:37]
I'm coming home[00:02:43]
Coming home[00:02:50]
It's been a lifetime here[00:02:59]
Coming home[00:03:04]
